Left-symmetric algebras, or pre-Lie algebras in geometry and physics

Dietrich Burde (2006)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

In this survey article we discuss the origin, theory and applications of left-symmetric algebras (LSAs in short) in geometry in physics. Recently Connes, Kreimer and Kontsevich have introduced LSAs in mathematical physics (QFT and renormalization theory), where the name pre-Lie algebras is used quite often. Already Cayley wrote about such algebras more than hundred years ago. Indeed, LSAs arise in many different areas of mathematics and physics. We attempt to give a survey of the fields...

Poisson-Lie groupoids and the contraction procedure

Kenny De Commer (2015)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

On the level of Lie algebras, the contraction procedure is a method to create a new Lie algebra from a given Lie algebra by rescaling generators and letting the scaling parameter tend to zero. One of the most well-known examples is the contraction from 𝔰𝔲(2) to 𝔢(2), the Lie algebra of upper-triangular matrices with zero trace and purely imaginary diagonal. In this paper, we will consider an extension of this contraction by taking also into consideration the natural bialgebra structures...

A Note on Strong Lie Derived Length of Group Algebras

Francesco Catino, Ernesto Spinelli (2007)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Similarity:

For a group algebra KG of a non-abelian group G over a field K of positive characteristic p we study the strong Lie derived length of the associated Lie algebra.
